Man I had a crazy crazy dream dogg.I had a dream I was in the NBA straight playin basketball.NBA straight getting my ball on dogg.Can you imagine?Snoop Dogg in the NBA?Imagine that Hoop Doggy Dogg.Yea straight ballin.You know I'm a ball anyway so why not.Let me get my ball on.

If I could play in the NBAI would be that six four all day shootin that treyI dribbled to the outside and passed it to Shaqthey double teamed on him so he passed it backLook at the 3 but I don't take the shotcause I think I'm cold and I aint trying to get hotI'm feelin bionic, we playing the SonicsAnd I'm sticking Gary Payton so you know I'm ball hatinBang on Vin Baker cause real Lakers really don't care yea yeaNext stop in the court on Damon toast Stouda and my homeboy J.R. RiderMinnesota Timberwolves, we cut 'em downHakeem Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen, we shut 'em downThe Twin Towers, Dave and Duncan20 in the paint fool you get's nothingOn a four game roll sweep, beep beepWe beat the Bulls and we rocked the HeatAnd we traded for a few players, some PacersMiller and Mullin and now they LakersWe cant be beat now, we on a 27 game win streak now, bow wowWhen it all started from a dreamI'm playin point guard on my favorite team (Lakers)I got the big perm, doing interviews with Chick HermAt Stu Lance, we do a danceWhen it rains poppin shampaneBasketball yes yall thats the gameTwo years ago a friend of mineAsk me to glide from the free throw lineSo I took the ball, and as I made the hoopEverybody jumped up and they said "Go Snoop"And my career jumped off into the fast laneMy rookie season I made my first all star gameDouble G like George Gervin, thats what the call me cause I'm so iceBallin cause that's my life, I balls all day, and I balls all nightThey call me Snoop Dogg and everybody know I love to hustle and ballThe season gettin tragic we lost to the Magicand the word is that Rodman done had itSo I guess it on a young homie, the great number 8, Mr. KobyGive him the ball dogg he readyWe got to play Charlotte tonight, I'm stickin EddieRemember all the good times that we hadCuz dont trip to long cause tommorow we play the JazzThen it on to play the Denver NuggetsThe homeboy Nick they traded, but damn I still love 'emKeep a picture of 'em on the wall next to Dr. JMeach, I love basketballAllen Iverson on the fly boy he hard to stickC Webb comin through with a quick pickThe NBA Saturday mornings hey or maybe on a SundayWe in the playoffs so stay off the courtThis aint no game, this a sportAnd we in it to win it, we ballin, No LimitRemember thisWhen I grow up on wanted to be a point guard playing on NBCWith Herb and Suge or Pistol Pete or World B. Free givin dap to meGivin up my dues with converse shoesAnd tellin all the kids to stay in schoolThis is true and your dreams can come trueif it happen to me, it can happen to you
